Don't know if it makes a difference, but it's a 97 tdi wagon.
Update to my earlier post, I'm pretty sure the wires are correct, and when I plugged in my old silver box (357 953 233) it started. I put it back because with the remote keyless white box (1hm 937 045 Q), it won't start. Everything works, no fuses undone, battery was unplugged. Glow plug lights up, but no sound when I turn the key.
sunroof and cabin lights work, I unplugged the battery when I did all the work
It's not the ignition switch because the car starts fine with the old box, and it already had the recall done.
It's not the door wires or driver's side door handle because those work fine, checked door loom, no broken wires. Locking and unlocking car via passenger side door still results in a no start.
Also, under my driver's side windshield wiper motor area, there is no "alarm horn" like the jetta's do, pictured below. I never heard the horn beep or alarm activate before, making me think that my car has no alarm. BUT I thought all 1997 b4 passats came with an alarm standard, and I have the red led on the door.
This is not a pic of my car, but a pic someone posted of a jetta's alarm horn. Do passats have a separate alarm horn?
